The bump is back.

Get out your rattail combs.

IN THE COMMENTS: Jason notes the real source of this new trend, whom the above-linked NYT piece eclipses. It's:

somefeller म्हणाले...: Meh, I live in Texas, where big hair never goes out of style. In fact, most of the people in that slideshow look like people I'll see at a party tonight.

WV word: wormons - Mormons who serve in the military.; १०/४/१०, ११:२५ AM
अनामित म्हणाले...: I'd gladly sell my soul and burn in hell for all eternity* if another sort of women's hair styling comes back into fashion. Perhaps "styling" is not the right word; it would be the mere existence of hair that would count.

I'm not holding my breath waiting.

* = which probably is going to happen anyhow

Jason (the commenter) म्हणाले...: The bump? Oh, you mean the Sarah Palin.; १०/४/१०, ११:३१ AM
अनामित म्हणाले...: The Snooki.

Should be an interesting decade.; १०/४/१०, ११:३३ AM
Jason (the commenter) म्हणाले...: jayne_cobb: Screw the bump, tell me when it's alright for men to have chest hair again.

It's okay by me!; १०/४/१०, ११:३९ AM
Wince म्हणाले...: Althouse 'bout scared me half to death by leading me to believe the "rat tail" is coming back as well.

a rather nappy type of mullet carefully trimed so that the hair in the middle at the base of the skull forms a single, disturbingly long, strand resembling that of a rat's tail; often spotted on young ratty looking children whose parents don't know any better than to get them a decent haircut; १०/४/१०, ११:५५ AM
kimsch म्हणाले...: EDH - you forgot "and often braided."; १०/४/१०, १२:०० PM
Phil 314 म्हणाले...: Blame it all on Flo; १०/४/१०, १२:०१ PM
Tom म्हणाले...: To my priest, lawyer and hairdresser:

You can screw the pooch
and jump the shark
but if you rat out my hair
don't say the roots are dark :(; १०/४/१०, १२:०३ PM
JAL म्हणाले...: @ EDH link;

aaaccchhhkk!

MANSHORTS and a rat tail.; १०/४/१०, १२:१४ PM
JAL म्हणाले...: And what are we doing commenting inside on this gorgeous day? Mmm?

अनामित म्हणाले...: ही टिप्पणी लेखकाना हलविली आहे.; १०/४/१०, १२:२६ PM
अनामित म्हणाले...: Bush is gone. No one wants to think about him.

Now, EVERYTHING is Sarah Palin's fault. And you don't think Big Hair is a fault?

She really does better service for bloggers than Elizabeth Taylor ever did for supermarket tabloids. I'd put her on my own blog, if there was any indication she had an interest in 18th century keyboard tunings.; १०/४/१०, १२:२८ PM
al म्हणाले...: Screw the bump, tell me when it's alright for men to have chest hair again.

I hope it's ok now. I so want to be stylish again.; १०/४/१०, १२:३५ PM
Dust Bunny Queen म्हणाले...: And what are we doing commenting inside on this gorgeous day? Mmm?

It's raining and about 45 degrees. What gorgeous day?

I'm playing World of Warcraft and commenting during the long "rides" between areas when there is nothing to do.; १०/४/१०, १२:४१ PM
David म्हणाले...: The bump? She pregnant again?; १०/४/१०, १२:५५ PM

Eh, I know what you mean and I don't miss it. It makes certain husbandly obligations much more pleasant during and after the act, which means wifey gets to enjoy it more frequently and more cheerfully, which redounds back to hubby's immense benefit. Can we compromise on the landing strip or Hitler mustache?; १०/४/१०, १:५३ PM

Nothing concentrates and amplifies delectable flavors and aromas like a thick rich thatch.

The landing strip is perhaps slightly less depressing than the Hideous Pedophilic Bald Eagle, but is nonetheless ludicrous and unnatural-looking.

I'm Full of Soup म्हणाले...: Wow any style story that leads off with Hillary Clinton is cutting edge. Do you read the NYT for its subtle sarcasm and secret messages?; १०/४/१०, २:१७ PM
Kirby Olson म्हणाले...: Women who want to be president should pile their hair up to look like a stovepipe hat. They should also get into a Procrustean stretching machine to get taller, but the hair piled way up will help them with their size issues, too.; १०/४/१०, २:२७ PM
Jason (the commenter) म्हणाले...: It's a year into the New Camelot and everyone is copying the styles of America's First Lady who, unexpectedly, does not live in the White House.; १०/४/१०, २:३३ PM
अनामित म्हणाले...: Leaving Palin out of the gallery is proof of left-wing bias at the NYT.; १०/४/१०, ३:३६ PM
Dust Bunny Queen म्हणाले...: It's a year into the New Camelot and everyone is copying the styles of America's First Lady who, unexpectedly, does not live in the White House.

This is because NO one wants to copy the style of Michelle O. Sumo wrestler belts tied just under the boobs. Wrinkled shorts with camel toe. Sweaters 3 sizes to small. Your basic Salvation Army sale bin fashion sense, just really isn't that inspiring.; १०/४/१०, ३:४३ PM
Irene म्हणाले...: "Get out your rattail combs."

Or, in Hillary's case, get out your wig.

(I would know.); १०/४/१०, ४:३८ PM
traditionalguy म्हणाले...: Wait until the Supreme Court nominee comes to her hearing with a Farrah Fawcett hairstyle. Female stylishness is once more a part of popular culture.Thanks Sarah; १०/४/१०, ४:४५ PM

अनामित म्हणाले...: Very superficial subject.
But then, as a balding man, perhaps I am biased.
"So then he will be bald?"
"Yes."; १०/४/१०, १०:३१ PM
MadisonMan म्हणाले...: I also thought of flo, as did c3; १०/४/१०, ११:२७ PM
